Prediction: 2-2
Blackburn Rovers
Ashton Gate Stadium will play host to the home team Bristol City when they take on the newly promoted and still undefeated this season, Blackburn Rovers. Both team have started the season in a similar way, drawing two games. Blackburn got their first win in Week 3 against Hull City and their second in their last match, beating Brentford 1:0. After the two draws, the home side suffered a defeat but have managed to pull themselves up and win in their last two games, beating QPR 3:0 and Swansea 1:0, keeping two clean sheets as well. The Austrian, Andreas Weimann has been prolific so far for the Robins, scoring five goals out of the seven they scored as a team in five matches. He will be the key to unlocking Blackburn’s defence and giving them their first loss this year. It’s going to be a nervy game, so we predict a draw with a few goals.
